Fall Bucket List/October Goals

I am ready to say goodbye to September and bring on all things pumpkin and spooky related!! My husband's birthday is Friday October 9th, and although he's working a darn sale all day, I am excited about birthdays in general. I know Brooke will get a kick out of it too, since she loves balloons and well, what's a birthday without balloons? I dunno why, but that is my motto.

My "Fall" Bucket list:

Family photos with leaves changing. This is NON negotiable Jennifer Lynn! Seriously, my adorable family needs some family photos. I think we are gonna bust out the tripod and have to do this. I have a few areas in mind that I want to shoot too. I am going to try my best to get some of the kids too…because time is a flying people!

Cozy movie night with candles and a fire. We just need a good movie…suggestions?!

A haunted hay ride

Farmer's market Thursdays

My goal is 5 pumpkin patches this month with the kiddos!

Puppy Pancake breakfast 10/9…Brooke is going to lose her mind!

Find halloween costumes for all of us. We are actually going to an adult Halloween Party and I hate to say it, but I don't love dressing up?! I know. I know. I do love dressing up, but I hate spending money on costumes. Creative ideas, and go?!

Bake apple pies

Get to the museum of play

Read books about Fall and spend as much time as we can outside!

My personal goals are to continue to work on myself. I am getting out of the house by myself at least once a week. It's amazing what a trip to the library in my ride listening to adult music will do for ya! I always say I will be right back and I take longer because it's so quiet and nice in a library…I need to go there more often.

Get dressed in real clothes. I have lived in yoga pants and shorts all summer. I don't like it. I want to feel pretty and girlie and cute. So what if the kids get my clothes messy? No more excuses!

I also will continue to grow my Advo biz and help other others with health and finances. I just love being able to do that!

I am also putting myself on another spending freeze. We are about to go spend a lot of money on some land that we will be able to build a dream house on. It's beyond exciting and so I am going to be pinching pennies for awhile. Little things like Brooke's winter coat still fitting from last year are very exciting!!

I also am trying to sell some of our baby stuff as we won't need it any longer. I just want to have a big old yard sale next summer. All kids clothes $2 a piece! Cha-ching.

Physically I will continue to workout and I will make it to Yoga once a week. I just have to make it happen. I know it will be so good for me, I just need to do it.

Lastly, I will finish a book. I start books but don't always finish them. Sometimes that is okay, but I just got Girl on the Train and so I am hoping I finish that one.

YES!! I can only imagine wrangling 3 kiddos and their schedules, plus all that you and Gary do. Just breathe and take time to make sure everything gets a turn--one month focus on you/one month you and gary/etc. You're an amazing woman!!
